The same Holy Spirit empowers the saints, draws sinners to repentance, and brings judgment upon the wicked. Tribulation and revival occur simultaneously. Both the compassion of God and His holiness are openly displayed to the world.

The response of the Knesset members was complex... a small contingent protested. All of the others were astonished at the degree of support and affirmation they were hearing. The moderate left were delighted at that support yet wary of such a deeply conservative agenda. The ultra-orthodox, religious Jews were also delighted at his support yet wary of the fact that he was speaking as a devout believer in Jesus.

Some people do not believe in such a revival in the end times. They point to the prophecies about persecution and tribulation and the antichrist in the end times, and conclude (reasonably enough) that there could be no widespread revival. So which is it? Revival or persecution? Victory or tribulation?
